The summer of 2023 weather-wise has been really rocky. The small area of lawn in the garden speaks of the perfect conditions of rain, sun and rain again. With some help of fertilizer and frequent lawn moving it looks better than ever.
Still some great musical memories were created and with more time indoors many more vinyls from own collection were prepared to hand over ownership to others all over the world.
CnC Troubadours
Christian Thornblad and Christoffer Malmström (an all time metalsouth favourite, please, see other posts of ‘Darkane’) enlightened an already sunny evening with a wide variety of songs like ‘Does your mother know’ (ABBA),’I saw her standing there’ (Beatles), ‘Flickan i en Cole Porter Sång’ (Gyllene Tider) and ‘Kung I Baren’ (Magnus Uggla). Really high quality singing and guitar playing made eating guests at the Bistråå Strandkrog & Minigolf on Friday July 28, 2023, finish their meals quickly in order to get up there and dance…and sing!
Keep up the good work and we look forward in having more from CnC Troubadours long list of songs. Please, follow more on these guys coming gigs via their social media.
Janne Schaffer at Ramlösa Records
1973 I was 12 years old. AC/DC was established. I had no idea at the time, which musical influences would take me in a certain direction. I was happily unaware that there was more out there than the nationally popular Sven-Ingvars, which was a strong natural ingredient in a very regional Värmländsk upbringing. Janne Schaffers debut album ‘Janne Schaffer’ (Four Leaf, 1973, EFG-7232) sells very well and goes no 1 in the Swedish charts. Elite Swedish musicians Ola Brunkert, Stefan Brolund, Bengt Karlsson and Björn J:son Lindh contributes strongly to the album and the sound. Jannes co-operation with Björn J:son Lindh was very strong, lasted for 40 years and continued all the way until Björns passing in 2013. Please, find more on Björn in a previous post and have a glimpse below on their co-operation ‘Janne Schaffer/Björn J:son Lindh Group, (Funky Alby)’.
Olof Falkenström arranged on August 5, 2023, in his all fantastic record store ‘Ramlösa Records’ a sell-and signing session of the re-mastered album and the connected book written by the author Ola Stensson. The queue into the classical record store was long and the meeting with Ola, Janne and Olof became a memory for life. Thank you Olof, for arranging this!! Let us add, that Olof except from being a record dealer master also is an author of the excellent book ‘Hårdrock, 1967-1979, 100 Skivor (Epitome Förlag, 2012)’.

As indicated initially, space creation is ongoing in our home in order to live on a smaller surface, get used to that and then take the next step into a living of reasonable space. The process of offering used records (LP, EP, CD) and now also a few cassettes at fair prices is ongoing. Some Bowie titles in really good condition, as shown above, are available. Postnord is used as postal transporter, special cardboard for fast/secure packaging and delivery is used.
